Named after a purple billboard in Paris, Elysa was destined be a designer before she was even born. Elysa Rice is a native Texan who is a graphic designer by profession and hobby.
She believes having a keen eye for design is a blessing and a curse. She finds inspiration all around her, but hates bad design; she can not fully appreciate a restaurant with a poorly designed menu.
When Elysa is not critiquing the typography of the world around her, she finds blogging as an outlet for her creativity. She started GenPink as a way to connect with fellow twenty somethings about the day to day challenges of the so called quarterlife crisis. Since the launch of GenPink, Elysa has become very involved with the large online community of other twenty somethings.
She enjoys all things related to technology and is a self-proclaimed blonde computer nerd. She has a great love of music, as well as art. She lives life to the fullest, making each day the best it can be.
Elysa Rice's blog is Gen Pink.
Erica was 18 when she had her first seizure at her home. Later seizures have disrupted a packed movie theatre, scared video game store employees, and freaked out patrons of the golf course she was working at.

Stress, quarterlife crisis, balance, career, family … how do we handle everything that we are trying to juggle in our lives? One word … vacation. Vacation can be a 2 hour picnic in the park or a 2 day roadtrip. Even if you don’t have the time (or finances) to take a 7 day cruise […]
If I had to sum up what the twenties are really, truly about I’d say it’s a phase of discover, a time to really understand ourselves. The quarterlife crisis, and a large part of the stress all stem back to the issue of discovering our identity. For me during all of my young years I […]
